After a short ——————, Yang Hong entered, and after a few people saluted, Zhuge Liang did not beat around the bush, and directly handed Liu Bei's handwritten letter to Yang Hong for details.

Yang Hong respectfully took the handwritten book, held it in his hand and read it carefully, his face was concentrated, and he couldn't see his mind just from the appearance.

After a while, Yang Hong closed the handwriting, and Zhuge Liang asked, "Ji Xiu, what do you think of the king's edict to send troops?" ”

Yang Hong pondered for a moment, and said: "The gains and losses of the land of Longxi are related to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition. The only plan for now, up and down Yizhou, men should fight, women should be lucky, the king's edict to send troops, what else is worth hesitating? ”

Yang Hong's words firmly stated his position, and Zhuge Liang and Dong He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard it.

Zhuge Liang groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "Ji Xiu's words made Liang have an epiphany for a while." With Ji Xiu's talent, the job he is engaged in is really condescending, Liang wants to be the king, and recommends Ji Xiu to replace Xiaozhi and take over the post of Shu County, I don't know if Ji Xiu is willing to take up this burden. ”

When Yang Hong heard this, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face, and hurriedly said: "Fa Taishou governs Shu County, which can be described as orderly, politically well-connected, and Hong Bucai, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to do it." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and soothed: "My vision, Ji Xiu still can't doubt it." Filial piety is naturally very competent to govern Shu County, but now that the king is fighting outside, filial piety is indispensable to plan from the side. Shu County is a heavy land, all kinds of official affairs have been backlogged for a long time, and they urgently need to be disposed of, at this time, it is necessary for you to take on this important responsibility, and I hope that Ji Xiu will take state affairs as the priority. ”

Zhuge Liang's words were full of weight to Yang Hong, and when it came to this, Yang Hong just couldn't refuse, but he was still hesitant for a while.

Zhuge Liang knew what he was worried about, so he said: "In terms of filial piety, I will explain it in a book." I think filial piety is also well understood, and there will be no objections, so Ji Xiu doesn't have to hesitate anymore. ”

In this way, Yang Hong had no scruples, so he said angrily: "Thanks to the importance of the military advisor, if the king really gives him the important responsibility of Shu County, Hong will do his best to be loyal to the country." ”

"Okay, well, with the phrase Ji Xiu, I am relieved."

Zhuge Liang comforted Yang Hong on the one hand, and looked at Dong He on the other hand, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the thoughts in their hearts were all silent.

………… More than half a month later, the second batch of hundreds of thousands of stone grain and grass arrived at the Longshan front, with it, as well as 20,000 soldiers newly recruited from Yizhou, the Han army deployed on the Longshan line now reached as many as 90,000, and the strength of the Han army in the entire Liangzhou area of Longxi reached 130,000, plus Zhang Fei's 40,000 soldiers and horses who pinned down the enemy army on the Chencang line, Liu Bei's total strength on the Guanlong battlefield has increased to 170,000.

The total population of Yizhou plus Hanzhong is no more than two million at most, and the number of troops invested in the Guanlong War this time is close to the limit of the ratio of soldiers to civilians of 1 to 10, so it can be said that these 170,000 soldiers and horses are all of Liu Bei's family.

However, the arrival of reinforcements and the follow-up of food still relieved Liu Bei and Zhu Wenwu, who were on the front line.

Along with the reinforcements, there was also a letter of recommendation from Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei knew Zhuge Liang's intentions at a glance, but it was not good to make a decision at will, so he showed the letter of recommendation to Fa Zheng and asked: "Xiaozhi, Kong Ming's military division recommended Yang Jixiu to take over the post of Shu County Taishou, do you think this person is competent." ”

Fa Zheng said without thinking: "Yang Jixiu has been engaged in Shu County for many years, and I think this person has some talent and will be able to do this job." ”

Since Fa Zheng had no objections, Liu Bei sent an envoy back to Shuzhong even if he made an agreed instruction.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, the weather became colder and colder, and the soldiers began to have frostbite on a large scale, although the food problem was not a problem for a few months, but the low morale made Liu Bei a little worried.

This said, after Liu Bei inspected and comforted the battalions, he summoned Fang Shao, Fa Zheng and others to the Chinese army tent, although holding the stove and drinking soju, but Liu Bei was worried, and said: "Now more and more soldiers are falling due to frostbite, and the morale is also low. ”

Fa Zheng took a sip of warm wine and spit out a few mouthfuls of white gas, "It seems that Cao Ying is determined to fight a war of attrition with us, he has the support of the entire rich Central Plains behind him, and the source of grain and grass is far superior to ours, if it only goes on like this, it is indeed not a good thing." For today's plan, the only way to make Cao Ying's rear chaotic had to take the initiative to retreat. ”

Liu Bei's expression suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there any good plan for filial piety?" ”

Fa Zheng pondered for a moment, "It's better to send an envoy to Eastern Wu again, and ask Wu Hou to send troops to attack Qingxu, if you can put such a fire in the east, it is estimated that Cao Ying will have to consider retreating." ”

Fang Shao smiled and sighed: "I don't think we need to count on Marquis Wu, when Cao Ying sealed his official position in the name of the imperial court before, Marquis Wu happily agreed." Now we have dragged Cao Ying's nearly 200,000 troops in Guanlong, but Wu Hou still does not move, this time he is clearly holding the idea of watching the excitement, and he will not act until we are defeated and defeated, and we will not take action after we have lost and lost. ”

Liu Bei snorted and said disdainfully: "Zhongzheng is right, this Sun Zhongmou has always been a cunning person, and it is useless to beg him." ”

Fa Zheng said again: "Then Wu Hou is a greedy person, just thinking that if we can promise to cede a part of Jingzhou to him, he may not be tempted when he sees the immediate profits." ”

"Mowing the land?" Liu Bei was a little surprised by Fa Zheng's proposal.

Fa Zheng hurriedly explained: "If you can sit firmly in Longxi, then Guanzhong will be the king sooner or later, according to the right opinion, if you can get Guanlong, even if you give all Jingzhou to Sun Zhongmou, you can divide it, not to mention that we are only cutting a few counties now, this deal should be worth doing." ”

Fa Zheng's suggestion does make some sense from the overall perspective, but he obviously didn't take too much into account the feelings of the Jingzhou scholars. You must know that now attacking Guan Long, it is Fa Zheng's hometown, and it is Fa Zheng's Guan Long people who have benefited the most, and ceding Jingzhou and sacrificing the interests of Jingzhou scholars to help Guan Longshi sit on their interests, which is obviously unacceptable to Fang Shao.

What's more, Fang Shao was extremely wary of Sun Quan from beginning to end, so as soon as Fa Zheng's words landed, Fang Shao said: "Filial piety is not a good plan." In the battle of Jingzhou, General Guan led the Jingzhou soldiers to fight bloodily, and sacrificed how many talents to expand the Jingzhou border east to the Lukou line, and now if the land of Jingzhou is cut back to Dongwu, even if it is only an inch of land, it will also chill the hearts of the civil and military soldiers who guard Jingzhou. And Wu Hou is a greedy man, if we promise him to cede the land, it is equivalent to showing him weakness, if after he gains the land, he not only does not attack Cao Ying, but takes the opportunity to bite us, it will not be even more than worth the loss. ”

Liu Bei nodded, "Zhongzheng is right, the size of the land is all obtained by soldiers in a hundred battles, how can it be easily cut off from others, but, can Zhongzheng have any perfect strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Fang Shao also thought about this matter for a long time, originally thinking that Cao Ying would withdraw from the army in a few days, but he didn't think that it would take months now, and Liu Bei was forced to consider ceding Jingzhou in exchange for Eastern Wu sending troops, so when it came to this, Fang Shao had no choice.

"There is one strategy, but this strategy was originally intended to be presented when the king's soldiers entered the Central Plains, and it may be a little early to use it at this time."

Fang Shao's words lifted Liu Bei's spirits, and he asked urgently: "It turns out that Zhongzheng has a good strategy, and when it comes to this, let's talk about it quickly." ”

Fang Shao said: "When General Guan took Xiangfan in the north, Wanluo and other places were already excited to the king's heroes, and now the king has launched a northern expedition to seize Liangzhou, Longxi, and the Central Plains. At this time, if General Ling Guan led an army to the north again, he made a posture of attacking Xu Luo, and the king sent a large number of fine works to go deep into the Central Plains, contact the heroes and righteous men of the Central Plains, and let them respond with the rebels. If the hinterland of the Central Plains suddenly becomes chaotic, Cao Ying has no time to attack the west, and he must only retreat quickly and return to the Central Plains to quell the chaos, then my dilemma in Longxi will naturally be solved. ”

When Liu Bei heard about this plan, he couldn't help but be amazed, and said excitedly: "Zhongzheng's plan is wonderful, this is exactly the clever plan of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao'." ”

Fa Zheng said at this time: "Although this plan is wonderful, but those heroes and righteous men in the Central Plains, after all, they are weak, as long as Cao Ying leads his troops to return to the east, they can naturally be easily suppressed, and when the time comes, the land of the Central Plains will inevitably be a river of blood." ”

Fang Shao sighed: "What Xiaozhi said is also Shao's previous concerns. If this plan is used when the king enters the Central Plains, the internal and external responses will definitely be a great success. And if it is used at this time, it can only solve the current dilemma, but it has to sacrifice a large number of righteous people with a prosperous heart, and when the king enters the Central Plains again, I am afraid it will be difficult to get a strong internal response. ”

Liu Bei stood up at this time, his eyes were worried, pacing back and forth, obviously, sacrificing such a batch of potential internal responses was also a big loss for the plan to compete for the world.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Bei Chang let out a sigh, "As the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, if it continues like this, Longxi will not be able to stand, not to mention entering the Central Plains, in order to revive the great cause of the Han Dynasty, it is helpless to make some sacrifices, so I will order Zhongzheng's plan to go and send an edict to Yun Changhui quickly." ”

After January, the Cao army camp in Huangxian County.

In the Chinese military tent, Cao Ying was drinking soju and nibbling on chicken, and he was in a very good mood.

There is no other reason, because according to intelligence, Liu Beijun's soldiers are not accustomed to the cold winter in the north, and are contracting cold disease on a large scale, and the grain road leading from Shu to Longxi has also seriously affected the food supply of the Han army because of the rain, snow and mud.

Therefore, all kinds of signs indicate that Liu Bei will not last long, as long as it takes a few more months, Cao Ying believes that Liu Bei will inevitably collapse without a fight.

When he was chewing on it, Liu Ye hurriedly entered and brought an urgent report from Xudu Xiahou.

"Read it." Cao Yingzheng was eating sweetly and said casually.

Liu Ye unfolded the silk book, condensed his eyebrows and said: "General Xiahou came to report, saying that Guan Yu raised troops to the north again, and rebellions broke out in Nanyang, Luoyang, Henan and other places......

Before Liu Ye finished speaking, a piece of chicken rib in Cao Ying's hand couldn't hold it, and it fell to the ground.
